Internship experience is an integral part of the Notre Dame LL.M. experience. In addition to recurring positions with CCHR partner organizations, opportunities are available for students to design their own postgraduate projects. Each October CCHR solicits proposals from students who want to continue their education beyond graduation. Working with LL.M. Director Sean O’Brien, these internships are developed to serve the students’ individual interests and professional goals. CCHR provides support for most students who obtain an internship.

The Program on Law and Human Development has also awarded two summer internships to Notre Dame Law School J.D. students. Rachael Winkler will work with AVSI in Kampala, Uganda, helping to document child protection efforts among rural and peri-urban populations. Sienna White will focus on human development issues in affiliation with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in London.
